I strongly believe in a gentle approach which does not mean that uncomfortable issues are ignored. More than anything, for any therapy be successful, the client must feel safe and respected irrespective of the issues that he or she brings into the therapy.
Relational psychotherapy involves a collaborative interaction between therapist and client. Both the therapist and client are impacted by the therapy in some way.
Focusing Orientated psychotherapy blends easily into a relational way of working. Briefly, it involves concentrating on what is called the "felt sense". This is an inner awareness of "something" which is not consciously thought about. This "something" is often the key to a deeper self understanding. Through working with the "felt sense" the therapist is able to help clients to not only deepen their self-knowledge but also to gain new insights into the issues with which they are dealing.
I have always been interested in developmental psychology, from earliest infancy to late adulthood. Part of my work is parent/infant psychotherapy with the emphasis on the psychology of early attachment and bonding. This has impacted on my understand of adult problems.
I am comfortable working on a long or short term basis, depending on the needs and circumstances of each client.
